the thing with range is it depends on so many factors

- how much wind
- which way the wind blowing
- air density
- road surface
- how much bird poop on the road
- air temperature
- spin of the earth
- pull of the moon
- accidental accelerations by the foot
- accidental misjudging regen and using friction brakes
- slipstream of car in front
- super gentle right foot
- tires
- tire pressure
- traffic

could the Edmunds test control all these factors?
maybe the EPA test should be improved but isn't the idea of standardised testing to control these things but just make it more real world?

don't know, just brain fart sorry
